Wizards of Waverly Place Season Four

I strongly recommend you don’t read this Season four press release until after you watch the season three finale which airs/aired tonight.

This fourth season will be the show’s last, and the second DCOM will likely be the actual series finale … although we don’t know that for sure.

Disney’s official press release follows:

SEASON FOUR OF THE EMMY AWARD-WINNING SERIES
“WIZARDS OF WAVERLY PLACE” PREMIERES FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12

–Bailee Madison and Gregg Sulkin Guest Star in Multi-Episode Story Arc–

In a new, fourth season of wizardly twists and turns, everything is not what it seems, as Alex is tricked into announcing to the world that she and her brothers are wizards, and a duplicating spell goes haywire, changing Max’s life forever. Bailee Madison (“Bridge to Terabithia,” “Brothers”) joins the cast as Maxine, an adorable 10 year-old wizard and Gregg Sulkin (Disney Channel UK’s “As The Bell Rings”) reprises the role of Mason the werewolf in the Emmy Award-winning comedy series “Wizards of Waverly Place.” The season premiere episode will be presented FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12 (9:45-10:15 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.
